Agent: No January Lukas Podolski move

Arsenal transfer target Lukas Podolski will not be leaving the Bundesliga in January, according to his agent Kon Schramm.

The Germany international has been heavily linked with a move to the Gunners while AC Milan are also said to be interested.

However, the 26-year-old is reportedly desperate to play for his county at Euro 2012 and is willing to remain at his home-town club until the summer to play regular football and cement a place in Joachim Loew's side.

Schramm told The Guardian that a move in the Bundesliga winter break is "all but impossible", adding: "Koln has priority right now; we have time [for everything else] in the summer."

Koln are also reportedly demanding double the £10m Arsenal have offered for the in-form Podolski, who has scored 14 goals in 16 league games this season.
